s:SOMETHlNG OF A GRAB"


To-day's Telegraph contains a com
munication from Hon. O. b. Steele,
State Auditor, in reply to the structures
of the article under the above caption
that appeared in last weeks paper.
The burden of Mr.. Steele's letter Is to
show that the collection and disburse-
ment of the interest fund belonging to
the public schools and arising from the
sales of 10th sections was very intri-
cate undertaking, requiring a vast
amount Of labor; and while he proves
that the interest on large amount of
the prIncipai--about $500, O0O-has been
regularly paid over, he argues the in'
ability and Incompetence of his Office
to do what Mr.. Rutland has accom-
plished. In this particular Mr.. S,eele's
statement is unsatisfactory. II Mr..
Rutland has been able 10 ascertain and
locate the interest, $4,000, Qn round

that the clerical force of the Office was
not sufficient IL not good, for undonbt-
eddy Mr.. Steele has u larger and better
equipped force than MIR. Rutland.
Neither can ii be urged that Mr.. Rut,
land was more familiar with the work
required to be done, for Mr.. Steele, in
his exposition of the matter, displays
careful study and rare understanding
Of the whole subject. That he knew

A Street Car Grievance.

To tho Editor Of TIE EVENING STAB.
Permit me to call attention to an evil existing in
the management OF the Metropolitan street railroad
here. Parties who live in the eastern sec
ton of the city are often subjected to great in
convenience and annoyance upon arriving at the
Capitol, by finding that they have taken thewrong
car and that they will have to get out and wait
until one comes along which runs out East Capt.
tOl street. This is particularly unpleasant upon
cold or stormy night. Nor is this ALL 1t is gen.
orally understood that parties who have been un-
fortunate in this respect have perfect right to
pay an extra fare, but it Is exceedingly annoying
and even embarrassing to be stared at by other
arrangement and who perhaps, look upon you as
dead beat trying to steal a ride. II the company
would furnish the drivers OF the cars which run
only to the Capitol with transfer tickets for the
benefit OF passengers in this predicamentt would
relieve them from embarrassment, and protect
itself nom frauds and imposters. CITIZEN.
